vice in San Bernardino, March IS, in the
A. o. U. w. hall. The audience was the
largest yet assembled, filling the hall.
Rev. Mr.. Conger read an account of the
Congregationalistc lergymen of Chicago
refusing to send a vote of sympathy to
Mrs. Beecher in her hour OF great sorrow
because it might seem like endorsing her
husbands beresies. He contrasted this
action with the spirit OF Jesus, as revealed
in his treatment of men, and in his teach
ings. Then he gave brief review OF the
life of the great preacher, and paid fit
ting tribute to his work and worth and
memory. The sermon was plea for the
right spirit and right methods in Chris
tian work. 1t had for its basis the text,
"He that winneth souls is WISE"
The preacher declared that the method
of the text was the divine method in all
ages and all climes, in the days of Solo
mon when the text was written and even
among the heather where the historic
Christ was not known. 1t was narrow
and selfish view, and one unworthy a
God of infinite wisdom and love, that
limited salvation to the name of Jesus
rather than the spirit of God, which was
in Jesus, and was and is in Gods other
works as WELL
Some of the methods Of the churches
were criticised as not in harmony with
the divine method, and it was an occasion
of rejoicing that they were giving way to
the Masters spirit of winning men by
love. Nature and Scripture and reason
and experience were appealed to to en-
force the lesson Of the hour and the grand
work of the Reform Club in saving mer
from the drink curse by sympathy and
love where harsh measures failed, was
held up as a good example for the
churches. Our method should be the

ers the Universalist Church has ever pro-
duced. The thirteen sermons here collected
have high merits. They are clear and point
ed, thoughtful and earnest, the evident out
come of a thoroughly manly and religious
nature. They are not quite just to the scien-
tiic tendencies of the day, for DR.. Ellis's
bent was decidedly literary rather than sci
entific, and he was born too soon to be alto
gether appreciative of evolution. But, in
their hold on the great verities of religion,
which they expound with admirable force of
style, DR.. Ellis's discourses are eminent and
edifying. His brethren had a right to be
proud of him living; and we trust he will
speak to many, now that his fine spirit is

This little book is only what it's title
indicates-R book of hints on preaching.
But on matters here set forth, many may
pause to take hint and profit by it, who
have no time for extended reading and
patient reflection. These hints are mostly
from acknowledged high sources and may
be regarded, in the words of Ceryantes
as ''short sentences drawn from long ex
perience." They are the abridgements of
wisdom. In many cases they are the
central ideas which their author has elab-

After passing lovely winter in this

once more brought us its usual flowers

health, have done good deal of hard
work, and are now able to delight in the

formally dedicate it on Sunday, March
20. 1t was gore disappointment that
this service could not have been held
while our good DR.. Balch WAS with us.
All feel this disappointment; for though
the doctor was not in robust health, yet
he preached for our people several times
during his stay, and made SO good an
impression that it was with universal re-
greet that we were obliged to part with
him. OF

will speak in detail at later date. I will
say this much, however, the sermon will
necessarily be preached by the writer,
while addresses will be made by Gov. SAT-
ford and others. In and Of itself the church
we have built and are soon to dedicate, is
of small moment; but when we consider
the time within which it has been done,
and the important fact that it is the first
Universalist church built in the State of
Florida, more than usual importance is
attached to it. That we have not more, is
certainly not the fault of the people so
much as our ministers who are ordained
to build and organize churches, wherev-
or an opportunity presents itself.
The Average Number of Universalist Clergy
who seek winter home in the South, is
quite large. Statistics show that several
have located in Florida permanently.
Opportunities for organizing churches
are not wanting. A little more zeal,
brethren, will do wonders in this direc-
ton. If we wait until Universalist be-
levers are numerous enough to call a
minister and pay him liberal salary,
we will make no headway in evangelizing
our Southern States. We must do some
missionary work-all who visit this beau
tiful country for winter home. / say
this more as a suggestion than in CON-
plant. OF this we are in no doubt, the
Church OF the Good Shepherd, at Tarpon
Springs, in demonstrated fact. That il
will make a spiritual home for the many
who visit this locality, as also for those
who are permanently located here, is also
a fact assured.
The number OF Universalists who seek
this attractive winter resort, is constantly
increasing; and all who come are charm
ed with country and climate; but must

A great many in Rock Island will re-
greet to learn that Mr.. Alfred Corns has
decided to remove to South Bend, Ind,
where he will establish his brush factory.
Mr.. Corns' industry is one that should
have succeeded in Rock Island, and at
the last meeting of the Committee Of
Twenty sub committee was appointed
to see that such factories as that of Corns'
receive all the aid necessary to prevent
removal from the city. The committee,
however, seems TO have forgotten its du-
ties. There is as much in keeping our
present industries as in encouraging new
ones.
Mr.. Corns' removal from the city nec-
essarily caused his resignation from thu
famous church choir of Trinity church
with which he has so long been associa-
ted, and Mr.. L. Kuoeke has been secured
to sing tenor in bis place in the future.
